Exciting Resource Center News!
Published: May 8, 2013
To some, a lawn is their yard’s crowning glory. To others, it’s a big hit on the pocketbook and the environment. Where do you stand?
When I grew up, a lush, green lawn was every suburbanite’s dream, a sign they’d achieved the American dream of homeownership and a weed-free front yard.
Today, I still love a lawn. I love the look, feel, and smell of grass. And I’m willing to pay almost $700 a year to the people — mowers, weeders, aerators, chemical treaters -- who keep my turf looking great.
But suddenly, grass lawns are public enemy No. 1. Some drought-stricken places are banning new lawns because they are, basically, unquenchable. The anti-turf people say get rid of lawns.
I live in Virginia, where we’ve got enough water — for now. Still, in the heat of summer, I water at sunup. Not only because it’s best for the lawn, but because I don’t relish the fish eye I get from neighbors who don’t share my love of fescue.
Why I Love Lawns
I believe lawns are a friend to man and beast. And so does the EPA, which says a healthy lawn:
Granted, plants and trees perform many of the same services. And many homeowners are replacing lawns with native species plants and even vegetable gardens.
One of my neighbors, who has solar panels on her roof and a Chevy Volt in her driveway, has turned her front yard into a tomato and pumpkin patch.
